Was there ever an examination of this[1]? I'm somewhat confused about how such a long article never mentioned it...

[1]: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/jul/23/alzheimers-s...




The article does in fact mention this event in the below paragraph:

"The hypothesis took another hit last July when a bombshell article in Science revealed that data in the influential 2006 Nature paper linking amyloid plaques to cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease may have been fabricated. The connection claimed by the paper had convinced many researchers to keep pursuing amyloid theories at the time. For many of them, the new exposé created a “big dent” in the amyloid theory, Patira said."
